JEBARA, T., CUNNINGHAM, S., MACLURE, K., AWAISU, A., PALLIVALAPILA, A. and STEWART, D 2017. Stakeholders' views and experiences of pharmacist prescribing: a systematic review. Presented at the 46th European symposium on clinical pharmacy: science meets practice: towards evidence-based clinical pharmacy services, 9-11 October 2017, Heidelberg, Germany.

While prescribing has been traditionally been the domain of physicians, prescribing by pharmacists has been implemented successfully in countries across the world. Developments are supported by evidence of effectiveness and safety. To facilitate furt... Read More about Stakeholders' views and experiences of pharmacist prescribing: a systematic review..

The effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms and metabolic substrates on the cellular distribution of mammalian BK channels. (2017)
Thesis
ADEYILEKA-TRACZ, B.A. 2017. The effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms and metabolic substrates on the cellular distribution of mammalian BK channels. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Humans are approximately 99% similar with inter-individual differences caused in part by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which poses a challenge for the effective treatment of disease. Bioinformatics resources can help to store and analyse ge...

The design, synthesis and evaluation of selective, non invasive imaging agents for atherosclerotic plaque. (2017)
Thesis
JESUDOSS, J.R. 2017. The design, synthesis and evaluation of selective, non invasive imaging agents for atherosclerotic plaque. Robert Gordon University, MPhil thesis.

The aim of this research study was the synthesis of an imaging agent, which could be used to non-invasively image atherosclerotic plaques via MRI. In order to achieve this, a library of peptide substrates designed to be substrate specific for either...

Social and cognitive influences on prescribing decisions among non-medical prescribers. (2017)
Thesis
MCINTOSH, T. 2017. Social and cognitive influences on prescribing decisions among non-medical prescribers. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Non-medical prescribers make an increasing contribution to healthcare across the UK yet little is known about influences on their prescribing decision-making. The aim of this programme of research was to explore and describe prescribing decision-maki...

DNA profiling of sperm cells by using micromanipulation and whole genome amplification. (2017)
Journal Article
THEUNISSEN, G.M.G., ROLF, B., GIBB, A. and JAGER, R. 2017. DNA profiling of sperm cells by using micromanipulation and whole genome amplification. Forensic science international: genetics supplement series [online], 6, pages e497-e499. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fsigss.2017.09.183

The differential extraction method is based on separate lysis of vaginal cells and spermatozoa and was designed to prevent mixed DNA profiles from intimate swabs. However, DNA from the victim can still be present in the sperm fraction, and the suspec... Read More about DNA profiling of sperm cells by using micromanipulation and whole genome amplification..

Detection of in utero cannabis exposure by umbilical cord analysis. (2017)
Journal Article
KIM, J., DE CASTRO, A., LENDOIRO, E., CRUZ-LANDEIRA, A., LOPEZ-RIVADULLA, M. and CONCHEIRO, M. 2018. Detection of in utero cannabis exposure by umbilical cord analysis. Drug testing and analysis [online], 10(4), pages 636-643. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/dta.2307

According to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 5.3% of pregnant women smoked marijuana in the past month. This prevalence is expected to increase as a growing number of states and countries are now considering legalization. Although th...
